Good C++ compiler for XP

The only good thing about freezing beyond feeling in the final Nordic ski race was that I couldn't feel that tumble I did going about 30 mph, maybe more.
On the other hand, not feeling any part of my body for 30 minutes was scary, especialy for my manhood.

Windoze: XP, hate it, though its more stable than my old 98SE
Dream: linux, mandrake, then slackware.

i like visual c++ 7.0 (part of .net), you can get a the standard version for about 50-100$ if you look around, its not that bad. i have the whole visual studio suite so im not sure about how much exactly, but i heard it was around that price. i like the compiler & a seksi IDE

I dont see why. One of the rules is to do a search of the boards before you post to see if the topic was already presented. Considering the sickening repetition of compiler suggestions and the like i think its quite called for.

RoD, get off the power trip. To be able to say something like that, you have to be a well respected member, like Salem, Fordy, Prelude, any other mod, etc. You don't exactly fit in this category of "I've helped a ton of people so I can say stuff like this." So, STFU.
